Pupils are assessed continuously throughout the course using various formative assessment methods including teacher, self and peer assessment. Individual pupil Mini-whiteboards are used regularly. Assessment is for Learning methodologies are used on a daily basis including clear Learning Intentions, Traffic Lighting and Next Steps. Lesson Revision Starters are used regularly to enable pupils to recognise areas that may require further attention.

In addition to formative assessment there are four formal written assessments during the session which take place in October, January, April and June.

Recording & Reporting

Teachers keep their own records of pupils’ Home Study but assessment scores are recorded in a departmental spreadsheet. Pupils are given feedback on Home Study tasks and assessments during class. Following each assessment they will also complete an evaluation sheet which is then taken home for parental signature. There is also the S1 Tracking, Parents’ evening and end of year report. Please see the school calendar for these dates.
